Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ pound sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes½ pound raw shrimp, deveined and peeled if preferred2 ears corn, each cut into 3 pieces1 cup cherry tomatoes½ small red onion, sliced thin1 lemon, cut into wedges2 teaspoons minced garlic1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves1 teaspoon ground cumin1 teaspoon black pepper4 tablespoons melted butterFresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 450°F. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 425°F if baking.
  2. Tear off 4 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Divide the steak cubes, shrimp, corn segments, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and lemon wedges evenly among the foil sheets.
  4. Season each packet with minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, thyme, cumin, and black pepper. Drizzle with melted butter for rich flavor.
  5. Fold each foil piece securely to create sealed packets, folding edges tightly to trap steam and flavor.
  6. Place packets directly on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Steak should reach an internal temp of 130°F for medium doneness, and shrimp should be pink and opaque.
  7. Carefully open the packets (watch for steam!), sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with an extra squeeze of grilled lemon.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for added color and crunch.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimp to reduce cook time slightly—just add during the last 10 minutes.
  • To make it a complete meal, serve with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up all the buttery juices.
  • Great for camping: prep the packets ahead of time and toss them on a campfire grill grate!
